    3-1 yesterday. Unreal cover with Indy, down 21 with under 4 minutes and cover losing by 9.  Was one of the largest bets of the year for me.  Always better to be lucky than good.

    Hornets +11.5- Cavs will be fine but whenever teams get a significant starter it takes some time to get used to his teamates, system they are running etc.  Not so much on offense but defense.  I love fading teams in these spots for 4 or 5 games.  This is just Jamisons 2nd game so it will take some time before he gets adjusted to his new surroundings.  Hornets haven't missed CP3 as much as we thought because this Collison kid is playing some unbelievable ball right now.  I a junkyard dog so I love the points here and have to take the points here.

    Knicks+?- Line will be around 10-  No team I hate more than this gutless, heartless bunch of chumps.  They don't even try some nights and can pack it in very quickly.  So why am I taking them?  Has nothing to do with them but the fact Celts just came off long road trip out west and have one day off before facing the happless Knicks and playing the Cavs next.  Perfect spot for fading the Celts here as I can see them sleepwalking through this one, just wish it was against any other team but I have no choice but its just a terrible scheduling spot for them. 

    Nothing else really interests me so that will be it as far as the games go.

    I love the under almost as much because of the same reason I took this shitbird team.  It's just the worst kind of spot for the Celts.  Nice eye King.

    Grab them now. Maybe they may go as low as 10.5 at tip off.

    New Orleans+11.5

    I'm leaning towards New Orleans +11.5 as well and Over 199.5 in that... Knicks will probably be +10 or more I'm feeling, O/U probably somewhere around 194.5?

    Here's a reason for taking the Knicks.  While we all know that these guys routinely crumble under the pressure of playing in front of such a demanding audience inside Madison Square Garden, they often flourish away from New York when they're looking to avenge one of their many embarrasing home losses.  So far this season the Knicks are 4-1 ATS as road dogs against any team that beat them in New York in their previous meeting.  That includes straight up wins in Philadelphia, Indiana, and Atlanta.  The one miss was by half a point in Orlando on December 2nd.  Last season the Knicks went 8-3 ATS in this role.

    It's been three months, but the Knicks were beaten by the Celtics back on November 22nd in a Sunday afternoon game at MSG.  The Knicks were getting 10 points that day and the C's weren't really into it, allowing themselves to get dragged into overtime before Garnett sunk the Knicks with a 20-footer at the buzzer.

    This trend was even dependable two seasons ago when Isiah was driving the organization into the ground.  The Knicks got vaporized in Boston by 45 points on November 29th, 2007.  When the Celts went to New York two months later, the Knicks, in true "Bricks" fashion, failed miserbaly to exact revenge, losing 109-93.  But, when they met again in Boston later that season, the Knicks came in through the backdoor to cover as 8.5-point dogs.

     

    The Celtics, for their part, have been terrible against the spread since the beginning of the Garnett/Pierce/Allen Era when returning home after a road trip of at least three games.  They went 1-3 ATS in this role in their first season together, 1-2 ATS last season, and so far this season they're 1-3 ATS.  In fact, In each of the last two seasons, the Celtics came home in late February folowing their post All-Star break western swing and failed to cover the spread.  In 2008, they returned to Boston laying 9.5 points to the LeBron-less Cavaliers and only won by 5 points.  Last year, they were laying 12.5 to the Pacers and also only won the game by 5.

    I agree Cavs can't look ahead to next game after losing 3 straight.  I think they come out focused, they will roll tonight.

    Correction to make there.  The Cavaliers were not "LeBron-less" that night.  He sprained his ankle during the first half and didn't return until the second half.
